Facts About Dads

Dads play a bigger role in their kids' lives than they may realize. Here are some fun facts that I learned about dads from my Parenting magazine:** When dads roughhouse with their kids, it doesn't just tire them out before bedtime, it teaches kids to manage their emotions, leading to better relationships.** Dads who share in the household chores have daughters with greater professional ambitions.** Dads who teach their kids accountability and reasons behind their rules raise children with more stick-to-itiveness.** A dad's love has the most impact on a child's future happiness. Kids sure of their dad's devotion are less likely to experience depression.** When dads provide calm loving home environments, kids are more likely to form healthy relationships and become capable parents.** Girls with strong relationships with their fathers do better in mathematics.** Boys with actively involved fathers tend to get better grades and perform better on achievement tests.
